Building an Effective Feedback Culture in Postgraduate Research Supervision

The seminar will discuss the features of an effective feedback culture and how such features can be fostered, before exploring the importance of developing feedback recipience skills. Strategies for developing such skills through face-to-face dialogue, written comments, and the use of educational technology will be discussed, alongside the importance of building a strong ‘educational alliance’ between supervisors and supervisees.
